A friend, A foe, who do I turn to?
Can you tell me how to get out of this dark room
I laugh, I love , I enjoy life
Why have I been given this dark room I live in..

My innocence stripped from me..
Left alone to deal with it..
Couldn't turn to you...
You wouldn't believe..
Not knowing better
you left me on that hill
Cause you thought it was my cure

A dark room it was
where a possible cure existed..
Yet the cure came with a lonely price..
Memories that haunt my every day
Every breath I took was precious
Every day I woke up was a blessing
But that all came with a price...
How do I forget?
Can it be forgotten?

As much as I love and laugh
As much as I enjoy life
As much as I am thankful
for every breath I take
I sometimes find myself as a kid
left alone on that hill

** this Poem is dedicated to a long time friend, who in youth suffered but prevailed as an adult...
Jen
